# Scammer Detection

## Overview

An [automated scammer detection and protection system](https://sds.phanes.bot/) for Telegram and Discord groups. It combines AI-powered analysis with trusted scam databases to quickly identify and manage malicious users and content.

## How to Protect your Group

* [Add Phanes](/overview/add-phanes.md) to your group
* Promote Phanes to Admin with at least the following permissions:
  1. Ban users
  2. Delete messages

## How It Works

The scammer detection system operates through:

1. **AI-Powered Analysis:** Advanced machine learning algorithms to identify known scam techniques.
2. **Known Scammer Database:** Automatically bans users who are already identified as scammers.
3. **Pattern Recognition:** Detects suspicious messages containing malicious bot links, drainer websites, and common scam indicators.

## Automatic Actions

When a scammer is detected, the system will:

* Automatically attempt to ban the user.
* Delete the suspicious message.
* Send a warning notification to the group.
